3 units on Purdue -7 (-110) (risk 3 to return 5.73)
Result:
LOSS

This game would have attracted every NFL scout alive if Walters were healthy. He is not, and as a result, some of the luster comes off of this match-up. Sam Keller, a highly touted QB out of high school will make his first start for the Sun Devils here. Kyle Orton finishes his brilliant career for Joe Tiller at Purdue. Love the senior angle once again here. Orton will go out with a huge bang as ASU struggles defending the pass giving up 230 YPG and a 55% completion rate. Purdue is 7-0 ATS off a home win against a conference rival over the last 3 seasons. ASU would have a tough time here with a healthy Walters. ASU is 3-10 ATS in road games off an upset loss as a favorite since 1992. Without him, this will be too steep. Three units on Orton and Purdue to go out with another bang.
